Re: Limited File Size On The Packard Club Website

My neighbor, a photographer, liked my Packard and asked if could try something 'new'. I said yes and he said he needed to take the photos at night with a new moon.

We took these photos in my front yard with a crab apple tree as a backdrop. It was about a quarter moon but the photos came out awesome, in my opinion.

I watched as he setup the camera on a tripod. He then set it for a time-lapse (at first for 30 seconds.). Then he was off 'painting the car with a flashlight. He then took out his son's light sabre (blue) and looped it in the background. It seemed crazy, but he said that he didn't appear in the photo because he was moving and not illuminated.

I love the headlights, taillights, and parking lights on. I've not seen this in other pictures.

I hope you enjoy them,

EDIT: We also layed a light on the floor in the back seat and on the front seat. This illuminated the interior. We had to roll the side windows dow because of glare.

He took a lot of photos and I'm sure that some didn't make the cut. These are a gift so I think there are others (I know he took some of the dash and interior).
